Such a curious coincidence, that's exactly what Herbert Hoover said on October 25, 1929, the day after the Dow Jones dropped 9% in a single trading session. millercenter.org/the-presiden... Trump's stock market is down 10% in less than 30 days.

Mr. Vice President, I'm sure you don't mean to mislead anyone, but the hard data suggest that in fact you've inherited a stronger economy than any administration in your lifetime.

It’s not just that Trump admires Putin, he’s adopting his playbook. Trump’s comments today on Canada (“an arbitrary border”) and Greenland (“maybe more soldiers go there”) is EXACTLY how Putin talked about Ukraine. None of this is funny. It’s an explicit threat to sovereign nations.

The first step to being able to win is the willingness to lose well. If you're not prepared to lose well you will usually lose badly. This is a fact that applies across so many of life's challenges.

Another utterly unlawful act by this administration. The law is clear that may only be used during wartime, and certainly cannot ever be used to substitute for normal immigration enforcement. There will be immediate legal challenges.

The thing is, if you are a billionaire (as Bessent is), a stock market decline is not a concern for your ability to live comfortably when you retire. Its an opportunity to snap up more wealth at a discount.

If this happens, get ready for one of greatest legal gymnastic shows the U.S. government has ever mounted. It's legally impossible to square the circle on application of this wartime authority of Alien Enemies Act with migration problem that the U.S. faces. Not even the best legal contortionists.
